If any two USB-C "supporting" devices are connected together, the probability that one or both of them will be bricked tends towards 1, as time goes on. Sounds like it's impossible to implement the spec 100% correctly.

Interested in hearing more about your experience. Doing a lot of type-c research lately

I had my laptop (Thinkpad X1 Extreme) connected to a dell monitor via USBC. The monitor lost power suddenly (electricity meter ran out, heh). /somehow/ this caused something in the laptop's usbc power management hardware to fry. The laptop's type C ports no longer deliver power.

Also to see if any USB-PD messages are being delivered, you may be able to tail /sys/kernel/debug/tcpm/* if you are running Linux.

I believe there were some tcpm related errors in dmesg. I'll paste some logs tomorrow

Too late, there have already been many reboots. I'm leaving it totally off overnight, in hopes that there's some polyfuse that will reset.
